Volvo Says...... 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be DeWayne on  Wed Mar 6 01:07 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I called the local Volvo dealer to find out what the Volvo recommended service interval is on repacking the wheel bearings. They said that Volvo doesn't have one for the wheel bearings but they have seen 240's go 150-200K before needing anything done to the wheel bearings. They recommended that I leave them alone unless there is a problem. Based on reinspection of the hubs and all the feedback I have recieved, I have decided to leave them alone until at least the next time I have to replace the pads again. By them I will have a cone injector for my grease gun and I will assemble all the needed parts and grease before I start the job. I was caught off guard doing this brake job and have wasted a lot of time looking all over town for new parts. The wife needs the car back so I didn't have time to mail order the parts that were needed. I have learned from this experience and will do better planning next time around.

Thanks again for all the advice.

DeWayne
